The Boston Celtics are back in the NBA playoffs and will try to defend their title in 2025. Up first for the reigning champs is a first-round series against the Orlando Magic and Boston took care of business at home in Games 1 and 2.

It turned out that two great performances are better than one. The Magic's victory once again came down to the young duo of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Banchero finished with 29 points and six rebounds, while Wagner nearly hit a triple-double with 32 points, seven rebounds and eight assists.
